Maca root (ground)

Description

The maca plant has been grown in the Andes for centuries, and historically, Inca warriors ate the plant and its roots before battle. Legends say their legendary endurance and strength were fueled by the proteins and vital nutrients in maca. It was consumed in such large quantities that its potent properties also boosted libido and virility, often requiring extra protection for women in conquered cities.

Today, it’s observed that maca root truly boosts muscle strength and endurance, improves venous return, and relieves that heavy feeling in your legs after a long, tiring day. That’s why it’s a favorite for athletes, those with high physical demands, seniors, and anyone whose daily work requires sharp mental energy!

USAGE: In regions where maca grows, it’s often ground and boiled with milk to be served as porridge. The root is the most valuable part of the plant and is usually dried to significantly extend its shelf life, which is why it most commonly reaches us in powder form.
You can use the powder to make drinks or add it to flour when baking bread, cakes, or pancakes.
